Question
I took my stomach piercing out about a year ago. The hole on top of my belly button still shows. Does this ever close up and go back to looking like I never got it pierced?
Answer
If it hasn't closed up in a year, it probably won't. You can leave it as is, or you can have the hole cut out and stitched back together (trading a hole for a scar).
